About the Junior Curling Tour of Ontario
The Junior Curling Tour of Ontario
Introducing the Junior Curling Tour of Ontario
Empowering the Next Generation of Champions
The Junior Curling Tour of Ontario (JCTO) exists to inspire, elevate, and connect young curlers across the province — creating a pathway for athletes in the U15, U18, and U20 divisions to dream big, train hard, and compete with purpose.
Our mission goes beyond scheduling games. We are building a movement — one that unites events across Ontario into a cohesive, player-first tour focused on development, opportunity, and excellence. The JCTO collaborates closely with event organizers to shape a season that is age-appropriate, conflict-free, and deeply meaningful for junior athletes at every level of experience.
At the core of the JCTO is the Junior Slam Series platform, offering an all-in-one home for the tour:
A comprehensive event calendar
Team and event registration
LiveScores for up-to-the-minute results
To support the tour, JCTO will maintain active Facebook, Instagram, and X channels, sharing highlights, behind-the-scenes moments, and athlete stories that showcase the passion and energy of Ontario’s junior curling scene.
This is more than a tour — it’s a launching pad for the future.
Welcome to the JCTO. Your journey starts here.

A Message from the Tour Admin
Hello,
My name is Carmelinda, the tour administrator for the Junior Curling Tour of Ontario (JCTO). I bring 15+ years of experience in junior curling including roles as youth convener, coach, junior development co-ordinator for the Hamilton area, team manager, Chair on two Curling Ontario U18 Provincial Championships. I am also the proud mom of two junior curlers and a club curler from the Hamilton Victoria Curling Club in Hamilton.
I am really excited to be administrator of the tour. I’m also excited about working with each of the independent event convenors and the Junior Slam Series to deliver a truly great experience for the junior curlers of Ontario.
I’ve met many terrific people along the way that got me to where I am today. As your Tour Administrator, I will do my very best to make sure Ontario junior curlers are given the development opportunities to reach their goals and aspirations.
Hopefully we will see each other very soon.
Carmelinda
